New MiniLogin Release!

Well the 'eqemu team' from what I understand was not too encouraged with the new minilogin, I am waiting on them to decide the next course of action for the login server since from what I read they are considering that as one option. I would rather they made that decision first, but if things continue to stall like they have who knows.

Well, Like I said nerf it down to one server on the LS.
Give me a good account system that doesn't require the old ip system . That's not asking for nothing other than an upgrade to the old Minilogin.
They can't feel threatened by that!

They didn't even like the idea that it authenticated user/pass.

Besides the point, if there was a public LS where you had unlimited accounts that anyone could get, it would be time for a login server list. I think if the LS is released to the public it should be a responsible release. Eg. there is some way for everyone to know about all login servers (that people host and want public), and some generic method for handling user accounts (this is more tricky and may not be possible). But a public server list would be key.

Isnt the server discussion area for precisly that listing your servers?

PLEASE relase a minilogin that has a good number of users allowed me personally im with angelox i only want one world server and a good ammount of accounts allowed black hand of doom had over 700 accounts before the change to your minilogin

Thats not really what I was getting at, some emulators have automatic server list that show user count and such. So you would have an 'active' list of login servers that you know are up.

well that wouldnt be hard to make at all wouldnt really be any different then making a page for account registration cept the server list page pings the ls listed in the database and shows if its up or down pretty simple php script to be honest

No heh...

I am not talking some shared login server, likely if everyone had their own login it would be individual user/passwords (that is an issue). But what im saying is each individual LS will try uplinking with a stats server and upload their current users/world information. Then a website can populate all that out.

Just to make it easy for the userbase to find reliable login servers and such.

I think if you gave people the option of autonomy (which obviously alot of people would like) from the "official" LS same as minilogin works now but with username and password authentication most people would still use the two public Loginservers, the only people that would change to the new improved minilogin would be people that either already use the currrent one or that are new users wanting a private server.

SoD has thier own login server and they are quite popular and autonomous they dont host anything on their ls but their own server and that is waht most people who want to use the minilogin option want i think.
